It would be nice to be able to check with a single instruction if the content of a variable can be used to name a variable. The following code works, but it is long and if the set of allowed characters change, it has to be updated.

Can you give an example of what you would use this for?

Also, if anyone else has ever felt the need for something like this, please post here because it helps set the priority.

Thanks.

This is used as an error check in my Deluxe Clipboard vers. 1.1 script. The user provides a name of his private clipboard, which will be used as part of a name of a variable holding clipboard data.
